Trade Network Founder Passes
The staff of Trade Network, based in Lansing (MI), suffered a
great personal loss on January 24 with the unexpected death of
founder and President Gary Kay, due to complications following an
emergency surgery.
Since its founding in 1991, Gary has
enjoyed the fellowship of the entrepreneurs and business owners that
form the backbone of the trade exchange. He dedicated his efforts to
serving its client base with a strong sense of integrity and honor.
Although some things will change with Gary’s passing, the staff
asserts that what will not change is their commitment to carrying on
in his tradition. The business will stand as a legacy to his hard
work and entrepreneurial achievements.
A large share of the
responsibilities involved with office operations have been passed
along to his son Bryan, in recent years. Gary's wife Nancy has been
actively involved as the finance manager since the company's
inception. The office will continue to move forward under their
guidance, along with the assistance of the current staff and board
of advisors.
The funeral service was held Tuesday, January
27, in Saginaw, Michigan. Gary was cherished as husband, father,
brother-in-law and loyal friend, and will be dearly missed. He is
survived by wife Nancy of 35 years, and his three sons Bryan, Evan
and Brandon. He has been an inspiration to those he loved,
encouraging them to reach high and follow their dreams.

Services Costs Keep Increasing …
Another Reason For Using Trade
Many stories about deflationary prices have appeared in our
nation's newspapers and TV outlets. All of which leads a person to
believe that everything is dropping in price. Not so.
Although big-ticket manufactured items are dropping a bit, what's
really more important for the entrepreneurial business owner is the
cost of services used on a regular basis. As well, prices for them
are not dropping — they are increasing.
Luckily, many
of these services are available through your trade exchange;
purchasing them on trade — at your barter cost — makes
excellent sense in today's tight economy.
Bottom-line: Focus
your barter purchases on the increasingly costly services to get the
most "bang" for your trade dollar!

With The New Year Underway, Where's
Your Company Headed?
This is a wonderful time of the year to look back and analyze
what you did right … or what you missed out on. However, it's
also energizing as well as necessary to look into the future.
If you believe that markets and margins will be the same in five
years as they are now, you are likely placing your company in
jeopardy. Because no business or industry can escape the rapid
change we see all around us.
So take a moment and consider
the following questions…
- Which customers will you serve in the months and years
ahead?
- What channels will you use to reach those future customers?
- Who will your competitors be in the months and years ahead?
- What will be your future competitive advantage?
- What skills or capabilities will make you unique in the
future?
- Where will your future margins come from?
- What will the new trends be in the future?
Ideas For Greater Success
- Keep a business or calling card on you that includes your
cell number, fax number, federal ID number, and resale number on
it.
- In all good business deals, what makes the best sense is to
follow the money.
- Don’t be an assistant to anybody with whom you don't get
along.
- Reluctance feeds the aggressor.
- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
- Keep a paper trail of your actions and decisions.
- Learn from your last deal.
- Don’t work for a company that doesn't have a conscience.
- Never skimp when it comes to attorneys and accountants.
- Be kind to people on the way up — you will most
certainly meet them again.
